Alright its down to 2, either CWRI20002 (106-202) Short Fiction or PSYC30020 (512-309) Psychology of Sleep and Emotions to fill out to question mark
Isn't that Psychology a Level 3 subject? There are recommended subjects you know...
Yea I know but the topics seem isolated,
Yes, but the subject still draws on basic psychological knowledge. When the handbook entry says recommended, I'd trust them. I see you are not planning to do the first year Psych subjects and you will struggle without having done these subjects. Unless you can prove us wrong :P

Yes. Level 3 means third year. There are very few third year subjects that you won't completely fail without previous knowledge and most of them are only third year so people who run into cul-de-sacs can satisfy breadth requirements (e.g. wine tasting).

Don't pay any attention to your instinct of what sounds interesting or not when reading subject descriptions. They give no indication of how interesting a subject will be at all: they really only serve to inform you of what topics will be covered for equivalence purposes and to say "ah, when I finish calc 2, I'll have learnt the calculus I need for electromagnetism." The only thing you should pay any attention to when figuring out whether a subject will be interesting or not is the subject area. Don't worry about whether "digital systems design" will be interesting, for example: worry about whether electrical engineering will be interesting.

Also just about every third year subject has first year subjects in the same field. If you like the look of a third year physics subject, take first year physics. If you like the look of a third year psych subject, take first year psych.

Yeah, by the sounds of it, I would try and avoid level 3 for breadth. Just stick to level 1 and 2 maybe.

And my semester 1 is 21 contact hours.  Not bad I guess.

I managed to cram 17hrs15mins of VCE classes into 3 days, (could have been 2 if I wanted to).

Why can I not do this for Biomed and at least get a day off?  :P

Do Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1, not Developmental Psychology. Developmental psych is the 2nd year continuation of MB&B 1&2.

Science and Biomed pplz can't do Mind, Brain and Behaviour as Breadth.  :(

Because i would have done them otherwise.

How do people feel about biological psychology (lv2) without done lv 1 psych?
I'm thinking of doing lv1 psych in year 2 as electives, and doing this lv 2 as a fun subject/ prereq for neuroscience.
that way i can do genetics, health&society in year 2 !

So...first year psych before second year psych? You could always do them in the correct order, lol...

I give up. All of you do second/third year psych if you want. :P

(Although I will admit that stonecold has a good reason. Probably best to try and at least slot in MB&B2 as an elective if you can, but otherwise there isn't much choice. Maybe pick another breadth?)

Depending on what course you're doing there should be a form you call fill out and submit to try and enroll in that subject and they will process it manually and admit you (within like ten years).

Is that in regards to my question or someone elses?
